Besserat de Bellefon

Combinations : Particularly enjoyable as an aperitif, it is an ideal accompaniment to diced, sundried tomato and herb verrine and prawn skewers with basil and lime; it is also a sensational match for desserts such as summer berry minestrone.

Appearance : The colour is pink with salmon glints. Fine, light bubbles form a creamy ring of froth.

Fragrance : The nose is generous, intense and sophisticated and strongly marked by summer berry fruits (wild strawberries). It evokes an impression of jelly, redcurrant and almond. Notes of linden and hawthorn.

Taste : The attack is tangy, with good volume in the mouth. There are again notes of summer berry fruits (blackberry and black currants). The finish is generous and delicately spicy.
